[SLE] vga16

Can someone please help! I've been looking all over the place for this x server (vga16), but with no luck. Every time I try to start Sax I get an error message asking for this server. I can find the i386 version but I'm running on a PPC kernel. I haven't been able to get an X windows sessions. When I try to load the i386 version using yast I get an error message saying that the version I am trying to load is of a different architecture. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am becoming very frustrated. Everything else works fine... http, ftp, telnet, etc. Just no X. If anyone one from SuSE monitors this list please help. BTW, is anyone out there running 6.3 on a PowerPC? Thanks in Advance.

[SLE] For those of you who had a tough netscape to kill
by calyth＠home.com 02 May '00

I just happened to come across a site that netscape froze at, and killall didn't kill everything. So, I went fuser -k /opt/netscape/netscape Fuser with -k will kill any application or any devices being used defined by the next param, in this case, netscape. It worked beautifully. Just in case you'll need it again.

[SLE] Why source the /etc/rc.config in /usr/X11R6/bin/kde?
by hattons＠bellatlantic.net 02 May '00

02 May '00

All: NOTE: I CC'ed the guys who wrote the mods to the /usr/X11R6/bin/kde so they might be able to respond to this. Please don't include them on replies to this message. I just spent hours trying to find out what was happening to my $PATH when I logged into the KDE. The first thing that happens is the etc/profile runs. This sources the /etc/SuSEconfig/profile. Then the /etc/profile.d/*.sh, the /etc/profile.local. After this, the /etc/X11/xdm/Xsession runs and figures out where to go to finish the windows manager configuration. In this case I ended up in the /root/.xinitrc which lead me to the /usr/X11R6/bin/kde. I traced this through by echoing the $PATH via setting TEST_VAR=$PATH. I finally found that the path assigned in the etc/profile was being wiped out when the /etc/rc.config is sourced at the top of the /usr/X11R6/bin/kde. Jim Menasian(sp), my CS professor for intro to CS II, would not like this very much. After going all the way through this maze I end up with: PATH=/opt/kde/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin The first time the path was set in the /etc/profile it was: PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/bin The original PATH makes more sense to me. This second PATH seems to have come from a more or less default SuSE configuration. The only good thing in the second PATH that isn't in the first path is the /opt/kde/bin. This was in the path which was replaced by the . /etc/rc.config. Perhaps there is a good reason to have done things this way, but I don't understand it. I dislike the whole meandering sequence of file invocation that take place in Linux/Unix when user sessions get started. It is extremely hard to understand, and often leads to problems. I believe there is probably a better way to deal with this whole initialization process. I don't know what that might be, but I firmly believe it should be pursued. I am sorry for criticizing SuSE again. I only do it with the intention of improving SuSE and Linux.

Hello all! I am trying to print a PDF or PS file with two pages side by side. Is there a quick and dirty way of doing this? I know this is not per say a Suse question but it's my last hope. Thanks.

[SLE] firewals 2 and DMZ
by workinman＠hookmeup.nu 02 May '00

02 May '00

I have a problem with setting up a firewall. I have three ethernet cards in my firewall and have setup the internal LAN and the external WAN and everything works ok. But when I try to setup the DMZ I can not connect to anything on WAN from the firewall machine or the internal network. The firewall has a real ip number, for this example lets say 213.212.8.1 and I have set the webserver on the DMZ to 213.212.8.2. The internal LAN is set to a private ipnumber serie 192.168.1.1-254. Should the machines on the DMZ use real ip numbers? Any tip on how to set it up? regards Jack Zimmermann jacken(a)jacken.se -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe(a)suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help(a)suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/

Re: [SLE] sound problem in SuSE6.3
by lvgandhi＠md3.vsnl.net.in 02 May '00

02 May '00

Thanks for the response. I went through the sound howto and also alsa-sound-mini how to. alsa needs kernel source. I don't have src for 2.2.13 which comes with suse6.3 as i got suse6.3 from a mag CD. However now sound works in suse 6.3 but midi doesnot work. My corrected modules.conf is below. alias char-major-14 opl3sa2 post-install opl3sa2 modprobe "-k" alias midi opl3 post-install opl3 modprobe "-k" options opl3 io=0x388 irq=9 options opl3sa2 io=0x220 mss_io=0x530 irq=5 dma=0 dma2=1 mpu_io=0x388 now it works for for me. Still problem is not solved for midi. when i start kmid, I get msg saying 'can't locate module synth0' When I start playing any midi file, i get msg saying 'mpu 401: device not initialized properly. sequencer error: unable to open midi0' Any suggestion welcome' Tim Duggan wrote: > > -----Original Message----- > From: L.V.Gandhi [SMTP:lvgandhi@md3.vsnl.net.in] > Sent: Saturday, April 29, 2000 11:46 AM > > Tim Duggan wrote: > > >> To sync them up do > >> # depmod -a > > >yes that got rid of the msg.

Anyone use the new lilo v21.4.2? Installed it but still can't reach my BeOS partition (/dev/hdc4). It is above the 1024 limit, but this version is supposed to solve that problem. Ideas? Lilo is in the mbr . I have: /dev/hda1 SuSE 6.4 /boot /dev/hdc1 Win 98 /dev/hdc2 Mandrake 7.0 /dev/hdc4 BeOS All boot but BeOS (/dev/hdc4). If I use bootman ( beos bootloader), I can boot all but Win98.

I have SuSE 6.4 loaded up and the Netscape updated rpm loaded, and no plugins are viewable from "Help" in the right hand corner ? Is this due to the updated rpm ? Is it something can be fixed ?
